How Amway Went Wrong Way: the Quixtar Blunder

Amway went the wrong-way by renaming themselves Quixtar (dropping the Amway name) and heralded a 'Quixtar Revolution.' Distributors felt that the new changes would bring the Amway business fully into the computer age. They disregarded the fact that Amway has always been, and still remains, a face to face, invite the victim, and show the plan recruitment scam that is pushed on naive prospects.  Recruits would  fall for the promises of huge incomes and then be willing to 'pay to play' in the supposedly tried and true (yet new) Quixtar system.

All distributors were encouraged to switch their 'businesses and become a Quixtar "Independent Business Owners." The old Amway ordering and delivery system was scrubbed. Distributors were forbidden to advertise on the web and were instead told that all orders would be processed through the Amway portal, that they would have to pay for the privilege of 'owning' a Quixtar page page on the Amway servers that could only be accessed via password.  These web pages would be hidden from prospective customers. It just wouldn't be right to have thousands upon thousands of pages touting the Amway opportunity and the pricey products.

The new 'Quixtar Powered Business'  was to remain the same old Amway a recruitment scheme that depended on the never ending recruitment of new distributors who buy all the bullshit.  Amway continued 'fixing' the product prices. 'Quix-bots' were to buy from themselves and dream of promised wealth. They were to become slaves to their Quixtar 'totalitarian' masters.
Devos and Van Andel, the Amway founders, had long since, grew wealthy by operating a  'dissimulated closed market ' scheme carefully crafted to extract considerable treasure from the cult-like, dream believing drones gullible enough to believe the myths.

In the end, after failure to ever make it big in Amway, and then in Quixtar, many would quit.  The drones had been 'conditioned' to believe that failure resulted from not following the system and/or failure to work hard enough in 'their' business. Most would awaken, from the dream, return to reality, and realize that the system was designed to fail them.   Amway and the kingpin distributors would count their money, enjoy the lifestyle of flaunted wealth and remain the 'cheese' in the Quixtar rat trap.

After Dateline exposed Quixtar distributors making exorbitant income claims was aired by NBC, and the bad press resulting from a IBO Rebellion, along with the defection of whistle-blower Eric Scheibler, the Quixtar parent company--Alticor)--had had enought and pulled the plug, dumped the Quixtar name and renamed their totalitarian sate "Amway Global".

The Quixtar revolution was over. Amway had gone the wrong way--the Quixtar blunder. The Quixtar Fragments of the failed revolution can be seen all over the web.  The 'revolution' couldn't outrun the bad smell of Amway.

Who Really Needed an Exorcist--Amway or Proctor & Gamble?


I suppose the 1970's horror classic, The Exorcist, seems rather 'old school' today, but it was a disturbing story about a young girl who was possessed by Satan, or one of his direct 'downline' minions in his own pyramid scheme where the devil reigns as tyrant-in-chief over his own totalitarian state. How fitting then, that I must bring to readers attention to the Amway and Proctor and Gamble scandal, where P&;G accused Amway Kingpins of intentionally spreading the rumor that Proctor and Gamble was satanic.  As proof, the rumor mongers pointed to a trade symbol that appeared on P & G's packaging. The spreading of these slanders would counter the argument that P & G's product line was superior to Amway.

Distributors in Amway are taught by their  'upline' to be 'core'--100% product loyal to Amway products and to never buy any competitor's 'negative' products. (Proof by the way that Amway operates a 'closed market' swindle primarily focused at its own distributors.)

It should be pointed out that Amway's market share is miniscule compared to marketing giant Proctor and Gamble. Amway, irregardless of truth, claims to be the #1 online health and beauty retailer--a claim that is patently false. Even restricted to  MLM competition,  Mary Kay and Avon most likely move more cosmetics. 

The devil is in the details; Satan's minions had entered into the Amway Kingpins.

Amway is the author of  the great reality inverting myth:  Amway is a great business opportunity.  This is truly the biggest myth which the Amway kingpins tell.

When Amway kingpin, Randy Haugen, was named in Proctor and Gamble's defamation suit,  Amway attempted to distance themselves from the allegations by hiding behind a labyrinth of  'corporate entities.'  Amway motivational organizations foster the lies that keep the pyramid churning forward.  Recruitment of new victims must eclipse the number of victims which leave.   

Below is the trade symbol which Amway Kingpins linked Proctor and Gamble to Satan:
